Joe Sandy Baughn says
We were deeply saddened to learn that Ann had died. Joe worked for her husband Joe at Bostitch Textron. Joe and Ann were the perfect hosts and Joe always remembers the bright and friendly living room Joe and Ann had in their Indianapolis home.
Joe and Ann were two of the finest people we have had the privilege of knowing and we will always remember them fondly.
Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Beth Pfister says
To Ann’s family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Ann’s passing. She was such a dear friend to my mother-in-law, Martha Pfister, at the Forum. Since they had both moved from the Forum, Ann had continued to be a strong encouragement to Martha and advocate to make the most of life and their new surroundings. I have prayed for the Lord’s comfort for each of you. My deepest sympathy, Beth Pfister

Dear Fr. Dan; We were so sorry to see the notice of your Mother’s passing on. We have both been in that position and know what you must be feeling. Know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers as you walk this path. Just know that the memories of your MOM will always be there for you whenever you wish to remember her. In fact, as time moves on, you’ll start remembering things you thought you had totally forgotten about. In these memories you will find the love and warmth you always had shared with your MOM. For now, just keep in mind that she now is in the safety of God’s loving arms.
God Bless and keep you!
